this is my brain on weird

[seryn]

I am going to install the printer drivers on my laptop. I'll still need to boot the old computer that the printer is plugged into, but I won't have to make it struggle to load things just to print them. Groupons are really irritating if you don't have a real smartphone with the app and have to go through tremendous machinations to get things to print.

I still need a better solution, but I need to print a map for tomorrow and this is the best temporary fix... I'm hoping it doesn't take multiple hours.

Need to also try out the new alarm clock. The old one got a bit demented. It got better after I thwacked it rather severely, but no one wants to wake up to "wounded rhinoceros in a wood chipper" nor does anyone want their sleeping brain to snooze after hearing that noise because the 7 minutes of following dream were where I figured out what the noise resembled. I'm not sure I've heard a rhino. I don't know what a wood chipper sounds like, but in my snooze dream I could hear the splat+crunch of flesh and bone being ground up and smell blood and predators looking for food puree.

I need to find a normal furniture store. I want a rocker-recliner by someone other than Lazyboy. I sat in a few yesterday and they all require lots of abdominal muscle to get the chair to recline and if I shift around at all, the chair sits up and I have to start all over. I don't know if they make recliners for infirm people, but whenever I see those commercials for adjustable beds, I keep thinking, "F.... Just get a recliner."

I love your brain on weird!

They make recliners called lift chairs for infirm people, but they do not rock.

I'm not infirm, but I don't want to do a full abs workout when I want to lean back and that's what the lazyboy chairs required. The saleslady suggested that I reach my foot off the footrest and push against the floor while pushing with my arms and pushing my shoulders against the back of the chair. It was just too damned hard and required too much coordination.

When I want the chair so I can sleep even though I have a cough, I'm not going to be up for calisthenics because the chair fights back.

Dave sat in a rocker recliner in Sears today that was Lazyboy and had the flippy thing on the side for the footrest part so no ab workout. He was decently back, but not all the way back which I would think you would want for coughing sleeping. I'm thinking because it is a rocker is why it had more tilt when the stool was up.
